SAM JONES' STRAIGHT TIPS.
The Evangelist Strikes Straighter
and Harder Than Is His Wont.

and Harder Than Is His Wont.
'sIf there is any minister here" said
Rev. W. w. Satterlee at the beginning
of the morning sermon at Red Rock
Yesterday. 80 dissatisfied with the
management that he wants to leave, i
can find 100 ladies to help him pack up
his belongings and 100 men to carry
them to the depot There is nothing to
warrant the GLOBE report that the mini
listers are dissatisfied, and characterize
that report as an entire mlSrepreSenta-
ton of the facts. The Salvation army
came here by special request and took
the platform only after being requested
to do So,
SOME HARD TRUTH.
Sam Jones preached the morning SER
mon. taking as his morning text,
i. Peter l.. 81.
Il suppose. taking broad view of
this matter. that the church IS often
crippled by bad members. and I'm
afraid the gospel is often crippled by
taking line of scripture and mold
ing it into song and then preaching
from the song. ::'Jesus Paid 1t ALL
He paid ali except what you've got
to pay. There's a lot of
you fellows who think that if
the Lord will come down
here and stop your cheating, lying and
stealing and make You quit your mean-
ness You'll make pretty good Christians.
There amt y lazy old farmer in Mime
sofa who wouldn' t swap sides with the
Lord and let him come down and do his
work for him. No man ever walked up
4 Christian by accident. The funniest
thing | ever heard was that OF man be-
xx-l1i In rla
bleS. God wants Your cooperation TO
give you the grandeSt faith in the
world. If | wish TO make farmer
out of my boy and buy him
a hundred acres of land, and he lays
around bar-rOomS and billiard rooms
and goes TO base ball games, hain't max
ing farmer out of him with a venge
ance. GGd's part is to furnish a Bible
and minister. and yours to do the rest.
Some fellows imagine that Gods got
big bell He rings for some and a little
one He rings for others. Special and
general calls. | wonder If they think
Gods coming down here and going to
get right on top of man and ring that
bell. God is no respecter OF persons
and everybody stands
ON \ DEAD LEVEL
before him. God never did anything
for any man until the man himself had
first tried to do it. Gods tried to do it,
bet He can't. It's just as easy for man
to live right as to enjoy Jersey Waffles
and butter and honey. God don't fall
out with what you are so much as
where you are. There's many fell
low. in the cellar who ought to be
in uthe third story. It's as natural
for man to sin as to breathe. No man
nor woman III the worlds proof against
bad company. Brethren, there's no
standing still in religion. You're either
going on or falling back, Some people
run the rule of subtraction i'll religion.
There's good in prayer meeting"
you say, but I'll just subtract what
good there is in it from my life" I've
seen one good Methodist go up and one
go down and the first thing we know we
see the bad one is drunk and in the gut
ter or his playing progressive euchre.
There hain't an Old sinner in Min
neapoliS that has any respect for a
Methodist that plays progressive
euchre. A sinners got sense if he is
mean. Some farmers plant an acre of
corn and eat it up in roasting ears and
then are on the beg, buy and steal order
for the rest of the year. There are
little one-acre Christians who use up all
their Christianity in the PRAYER meet
There's too much narroWneSS in our re-
ligiOn. Let's add, add. Let's begin to-
extend our fields of usefulness and
work our moral vineyards as we have
never done before.

SAM SMALI's IDEAS.
Sam Small preached in the afternoon
from the text, Luke xiii, %: But he
delivered Jesus to their will.''
''BarabbaS was sort of an unrecon-
Structed fellow, good deal like fellow
who would go round down South and
say the war. wasn't over. When you
get people stirred up into religious
fanaticism then you put an end to rea-
son and everything connected with
it. That was a fearful day when
the people with the right of
choice between the bloody handed
murderer and the pure, spotless, Christ
chose the murderer through the devil
that was in them. What was done that
day in Jerusalem is being done every
day in the world. A mans will is ON
nipotent as far as his own moral and
spiritual welfare is concerned. The
Jews renounccd everything from Moses
down. When PLATE asked what should
be done with Christ they said, ''Crucify
him." The world to-day, with It's
schemes of plumber and wealth and ras-
cality, is nothing but the Baraboos of
Jerusalem multiplied many times over.
1t is the world that says whisky shall
flow through this land like mighty
river. 1t is the world that says pools
on races and games shall be sold. L be-
lieve that God Will require that suicides
blood from the officials of that turf ex-
change in St. Paul and the officers who
permitted those things to go on in that
city"
EVENING EXERCISES.
Sam Jones preached again in the
evening to large audience, taking as
his text: ITO whom we yield yourelves
unto to serve, his servants We are.''
